To you who feel, with the coming of warm June days, a 
recurrence of primitive longing to recline on the green 
bosom of Earth, shaded and sheltered by rustling, leafy 
boughs, soothed by the murmur of soft breezes and lulled 
by the rippling tinkle of silver streams this 

lE^mh Poofe of "Vermont 

is presented, to suggest how the Green Mountain State may 
meet your desires, in the hope that you may essay a visit, 
expand with the strength of the breezes that blow from 
the hills, repose in the quiet of the valleys and rejuvenate 
in the peace that abides in the shadow of the mountains. 



tKfje ^lapsrounb of tfie Continent. 



WHEN the moisture laden winds with healing in their wings, 
sweeping inland from their wide surge over the North Atlan- 
tic, encounter their first obstacle, the mountain range that 
divides Vermont, they distill to earth a portion of their aqueous burden, and 
this stimulates and sustains the verdure of the hills which from their first 
discovery have given Vermont its name, the Green Mountain State, Verd 
Mont. 

Few sections of the country are so well watered as Vermont. Lying 
between Lake Champlain and the Connecticut River, it is traversed by hun- 
dreds of streams, large and small, and dotted with innumerable lakes and 
ponds. Yet its altitude is such, its drainage to the valleys so perfect, that the 
air is dry rather than surcharged with moistm-e. Altitude, atmosphere, 
climatic conditions, the absence of congested centers of population, combine to 
make Vermont one of the most healthful sections of the country. No portion 
of the United States of equal area has so few cases of tuberculosis as Grand 
Isle county, that island section of Lake Champlain, swept by the mild breezes 
that continually blow across the lake. The early history of Montpelier, the 
capital, shows an average death rate, including accidents and infant mortality, 
of one in four hundred per year. 

Vermont puts forth no claim as a universal sanitarium, but it is so elevated, 
watered and aerated that its healthful conditions must command attention. 

Most visitors who have written anything about the State have used such 
adulatory terms as to make what they have WTitten seem like exaggeration. 
IVom Henry Ward Beecher to Ambassador James Bryce superlatives have been 
squandered in efforts to depict the natural beauties of the State, and Ver- 
monters, believing that they live in the finest country on earth, have accepted 
and echoed such statements. 

A simple description of the natural beauties of the State is sufficient intro- 
duction, but only an actual visit can afford a thorough appreciation of them. 

The great diversity of physical features, the combination of mountain, 
valley, forest, lake and stream, the close juxtaposition of varied attractions, 
the continually changing character of the scenery, opportunities for all the 

[5] 



amusements a sojourn in the country can be expected to furnish, make Ver- 
mont attractive and stir visitors to sound her praises. 

Tradition, history and romance encircle this first of the states to be added 
to the original thirteen, and about no section do they cluster more closely than 
Lake Champlain. Discovered by the great French explorer, missionary and 
warrior, it has been the scene of many historic incidents. 

Rock Dunder, where Indians of the Iroquois federation used to meet in 
council; Isle La Motte where the shrine of St. Anne was established; Four 
Brothers island where the sea gulls from New York harbor build their nests 
and rear their young; Valcour bay, where the first American fleet, commanded 
by Benedict Arnold, met the British; Valcour Island, where the first Socialist 
colony in the country was established; the site of Fort Cassin at the mouth of 
Otter Creek; the ruins of Fort Ticonderoga on the New York side; the Sand 
Bar bridge; the railway that makes its way north by spanning the intervals 
between the islands; the great Back Bay with its enticing opportunities for 
anglers; and the soft and pleasing scenery about Grand Isle combine to make 
up the attractions about the lake. 

Broad bosomed Champlain, beautiful, charming, interesting, has rivals 
for favor. Willoughby lake, shaded by rugged mountains and reminding one 
of the famed lochs of Scotland; Caspian lake with its summer colony; Bomo- 
seen, a place of resort from early times; Memphremagog stretching far into 
Canada in the northeastern corner, all are charming and interesting. Scat- 
tered over all portions of the State are other smaller lakes that add to the 
beauty of the scenery and the enjoyment of visitors. In the little town of 
Woodbury are thirty ponds ranging from three to three hundred acres in area. 
All these are fed by springs. No stream flows into the town, but the volume 
of water produced by these ponds is so great that a considerable water power 
is developed on the streams that flow from them. 

Such spring-fed ponds are frequent and the abundance of springs pro- 
vides a pure and plentiful supply of water. Several cities and villages draw 
their public supplies from a system of springs and there is hardly a farm house 
that has not running water supplied from a spring a few rods away, on some 
elevation where it is secure from contamination. 

Close to the tops of the highest mountains gush forth waters of coldness 
and purity, grateful to the traveler and relieving him of the burden of carrjdng 
some of the supplies usually necessary on a mountain trip. Near the top of 
Mount Mansfield is a spring whose waters, on analysis, prove to be almost a 
pure naturally distilled water. 

Medicinal springs are also numerous in many parts of the State and afford 
a cure for many diseases. Analysis shows some of them to closely resemble 
some of the famous German spas, while others differ little from such EngUsh 

[6] 



springs as those at Harrowgate or the Ballcastle and Castlemain springs in 
Ireland. From some of these springs Epsom salts were made in the early 
days, but the manufacture was abandoned because of the small profit to be de- 
rived. In one town are half a dozen springs, of different medicinal qualities, 
l3dng in a semicircle only a few rods across. Some of these springs were much 
visited by Southerners before the Civil War but since that time no effort has 
been made to establish a health resort at any of them. 

No mountain peaks rear their heads in rugged, barren grandeur as in the 
Rockies or in such imposing loftiness as the Presidential range, but all about 
are graceful, green clad elevations, accessible without the aid of a cog wheel 
railway, from which may be seen a wonderful panoramic combination of wilder- 
ness and civilization. 

Mansfield, the highest peak, 4369 feet above the sea, has a well equipped 
hotel at the summit and is easily climbed by carriage or on foot. Looking 
west the eye roams over an expanse of forest, over a broad and fertile valley 
divided by the sinuous Winooski, on to Burlington and its green slopes, to 
Lake Champlain dotted with many islands, and further in the blue distance 
the Adirondacks range before the vision. 

Travelers have said that the view from the summit of Mansfield presents 
a more varied and attractive combination of scenery than they have discovered 
in this country or abroad. So, too, they have said that sunset on Lake Cham- 
plain, viewed from Battery Park in BurUngton, surpasses anything in Switzer- 
land. 

Development of the outdoor spirit among Americans in recent years is 
bringing a better appreciation of the natural beauties of our own country. 

Mansfield is reached by a regular stage line in siunmer. Camel's Hump 
(Le Lion Couchant), a near neighbor and but little lower, must be climbed on 
foot, but an easy trail leads to the summit. No hotel has been erected there, 
but a club of public spirited gentlemen maintains a shelter on the summit, with 
a caretaker in charge, where the visitor may buy his meals or have the use of 
culinary utensils to provide his own. 

Ascutney overlooks the Connecticut valley, affording a wonderful view to 
the north and far into Massachusetts to the south. Directly across the river 
is the famous Cornish, N. H., summer colony of artists and writers. The 
old trail to the summit has been kept open by an association of enthusiasts, 
and a stone house has been erected, the use of which is free to all visitors, the 
only obligation being that they will provide as much wood and kindling as 
they use and will leave the house and its furnishings in proper condition. There 
is no lock on the door and no injury has ever been perpetrated by visitors. 

Killington and Pico in the west. Jay Peak in the north, AVantastiquet 
and Equinox in the south, and half a hundred others of varying elevations, all 

[71 



have their charms and points of interest, varying the appearance of the land- 
scape and furnishing extensive views for those who care to climb to their 
summits. 

The Green Mountain Club, organized last year by some prominent people 
in the State, plans to make the various peaks more accessible and to furnish 
shelter and accommodations such as visitors may require. It proposes to cut a 
trail along the summits of the Green Mountain range which traverses the State 
from north to south. 

The State is entering on a policy of forest reserves which is being aided by 
private individuals, and some of these are on the mountain summits, set aside 
under conditions that will keep them forever free from the devastation of the 
lumberman's axe. 

The Hon. Joseph Battell of Middlebury, the largest individual land owner 
in the State, has given to the public the summit of Mount Ellen in Lincoln 
and several hundred acres at the top of Camel's Hump, while the Hon. M. J. 
Hapgood has made a similar gift of lands on Mount Bromley in Peru. These 
lands will be in charge of the State forester and this insures that so much at 
least of the mountains of Vermont will be kept green. 

A limestone formation runs through a large part of the State and water 
percolating under ground has formed many caverns of varying sizes. None of 
them equals Luray or the Mammoth cave and few have been thoroughly 
explored. Ethan Allen's cave by the side of Lake Dunmore, on the side of 
Mount Moosealamoo is of greatest historic interest. In the northeastern sec- 
tion, in Clarendon, Plymouth, Danby and other towns, are large caverns with 
chambers of varying sizes, stalactites hanging from the roof and stalagmites 
rising to meet them, while in one is the expected underground stream with the 
conventional eyeless fish. Some of these caverns were partly explored early 
in the last century, but the result of the exploration has been generally forgotten 
and in many cases the openings are now concealed by a growth of bushes, so 
that they remain today a terra incognita, awaiting the visits of the curious and 
venturesome. 

There are other natural curiosities, such as the frozen well in Brandon, 
producing ice the year around, balanced rocks of several tons weight in several 
places, a natural stone bridge across the Winooski and the Lamoille, the gorge 
at Middlesex through which were drained the waters of a glacial lake, and the 
gorge at Winooski, where some of the rocks exposed are said by geologists to 
be the oldest rocks on earth's surface, older than those of the Laurentian hills; 
and prominent traces of Indian occupancy in the paintings on the rocks at 
Bellows Falls, the rude sculptures at Brattleboro and the mounds in the Ox- 
Bow at Newbury. 

[8] 



Champlain and the larger lakes afford ample opportunities for boating and 
there are yacht clubs at Burlington and Newport with large membership and 
commodious club houses, supporting a considerable fleet, while motor boats 
ply the ponds and streams in all sections. 

Damming the Connecticut near Brattleboro has created a lake twenty miles 
long, extending up the stream almost to Bellows Falls. Already a good sized 
fleet of various kinds of craft has been created and a flourishing boat club 
established. 

Abimdant opportunities for pleasant and exciting canoe trips may be found 
and about the lakes are frequent sandy beaches where bathing may be enjoyed 

At all the important resorts golf links have been laid out and some of the 
best links in the country may be found in Vermont. Several of the leading 
hotels employ golf instructors during the summer and the grounds of private 
clubs are freely opened to summer guests. 

The fishing season for trout opens in the streams on April 15 and in the 
ponds on May 1. The bass season opens June 15, affording the fish time to 
finish their duties on the spawning beds and seek their summer feeding grounds. 

Vermont ponds and streams are natural trout water and some of the stories 
told of the catching of fish by early settlers are almost unbelievable. As in 
other States various causes have operated to deplete the supply of fish to some 
extent, but a plentiful restocking is gradually going on, so that there is probably 
as good fishing to be found in Vermont today as in any other State, though the 
man who knows will not expect to find this in public waters close by the larger 
villages. 

The United States government maintains two trout hatcheries in the State, 
each of which produces several million fry, and the State also has a hatchery and 
m addition to its product purchases every year a large number of fry for stocking 
public waters. 

Brook trout are caught almost everywhere, in some streams apparently 
too small to afford them room to turn around, and intelhgent and effective 
efforts are being made to keep up the supply. With the cutting off of the 
forests the water of manj^ streams has become too warm to afford a proper 
abode for this prince of fishes, and there the gorgeous hued rainbow and the 
gamy steelhead from the west have been introduced. The German brown 
trout, much resembling the original speckled trout, has also been planted in 
some waters with good results. Land locked salmon, the ouananiche of Cana- 
dian waters, has been placed in Caspian lake and some large specimens have 
been taken there. Hundreds of thousands of fry and fingeriings are placed in 
public waters every year and many more in private preserves. This, with an 
efficient warden service, under the expert supervision of Mr. John W. Titcomb, 

[9] 



for several years connected with the national bureau of fisheries, is resulting 
in a gradual restoration of good fishing. This is also promoted by the natural 
purity of the waters and their general freedom from contamination by the 
refuse from manufacturing establishments that pollutes the waters of many 
states and makes it impossible for game fish to Uve in them. 

No effort has been made to propagate the black bass artificially, as all 
fish culturists have found it very difficult, but some of the smaller ponds, where 
large trout with cannabalistic tendencies were eating up the smaller ones, have 
been stocked with this hardy fish and they have thrived remarkably well. For 
many years Dog pond in Woodbury held the record for the largest small mouth 
black bass caught in the country and the record may be good today. 

Probably no eastern water affords better bass fishing than the Great 
Back Bay of Lake Champlain. It is an ideal breeding and feeding ground and 
for years seining has been prohibited in the lake, so the bass, sturdy fish and 
well able to care for themselves, maintain their numbers and promise a con- 
tinuance of sport for many years to come. 

Arrangements are being made for the artificial propagation of sturgeon, 
of which there are now a considerable number in Lake Champlain. These 
fish, weighing sometimes 100 pounds or more, are not easily taken with ordi- 
nary tackle and can hardly be classed as game fish. Much so-called Russian 
caviare is made from American sturgeon roe. 

The United States government maintains at Swanton a hatchery for wall- 
eyed pike, or pike perch, and the fry of these is distributed by the miUion in 
public waters not inhabited by trout. They reach a weight of several pounds 
in a few years, and while not accounted a game fish are always welcome on the 
table. 

Campers and tourists seeking an addition to their menu will find in all 
parts of the State an abundance of yellow perch, always easily caught and one 
of the most toothsome of fresh water fishes when properly dressed. Perch 
weighing a pound and a haK are frequently taken in the larger lakes, but else- 
where they run little above half to three quarters of a pound. 

The forests furnish a variety of sport for the hunter. Deer are taken by 
the hundred every season. Having been protected for twenty years they have 
become comparatively tame, and every year are seen in the streets of villages 
and cities. Some are shot every year"within the city limits of Montpelier, 
the capital. 

Hunting of moose and caribou is prohibited. There is a herd of moose 
in Essex county steadily growing in size. As the moose is a migratory animal 
the hunting of it will probably be permitted in a few years. Only occasionally 
have any caribou been seen in the State for years. 

[10] 



Gray squirrels are numerous in years when nuts are plenty and hares and 
rabbits afford good sport. 

Partridge and woodcock are as plentiful as can be expected in a thickly 
settled country. Wild duck and geese are taken in large numbers during the 
season of flight and snipe and plover are plentiful. English pheasants and 
capercailzie, which have been placed in some coverts, are protected until 1913 
when they are expected to furnish good shooting. 

The necessity for going over or around so many hills has given Vermont a 
large highway mileage in proportion to its area. Maintenance imposes a 
heavy burden on the small towns, where in some cases road mileage is out of 
all proportion to area or population, and some of the highways there are not ' 
kept up as they should be. The State, by extending financial aid and increas- 
ing the authority of its highway commissioner, is gradually taking over more 
of the burden of maintenance. Already the main highways are in excellent 
condition, and the Munsey automobile tourists last year declared that the 
roads of Vermont were as good as those of any states through which they 
passed. More than a million dollars will be spent on the highways of the State 
this year. This fund is distributed by the State highway commissioner and 
county supervisors in accordance with improved modern methods. These and 
other officials work so far as possible with automobilists and officials of the 
automobile club, and without burdening the State with debt the highways are 
being placed in excellent condition. Macadam is used in places where traffic is 
heavy enough to require it, and in the country districts a high quaUty of gravel 
road is constructed. Many of the cities use some tar compound to surface 
their roads and keep down the dust, while treatment with crude oil has been 
very effective on dirt roads. 

Automobilists receive reciprocal courtesies and privileges, they find here 
good roads, hotels equal to any in the country in quality if not in size that make 
their interests a special care, and State oflBcials who have no disposition to 
impose upon them any restrictions beyond those of the statute, which auto- 
mobifists admit are reasonable and satisfactory. The Munsey automobile 
tourists passed through the State last year and were greatly pleased with the 
treatment they received, and the Glidden Reciprocity tourists will travel almost 
the entire length of the State this season. 

To the tourist, whether by automobile, on foot, by carriage or train, to 
the camper, the fisherman or the hunter, the mountain climber, the scientist, 
the seeker for natural curiosities, the artist and the photographer Vermont 
offers wondrous scenery, clear air, pure water, healthful conditions, a delight- 
fully equable climate, good roads, and opportunities for varied amusements. 

At Brattleboro, Bellows Falls, White River Junction, Woodstock, Mont- 
pelier, Waterbury, Burlington, Swanton, St. Albans, Rutland, Lake Bomoseen, 

[11] 



Manchester, Bennington and other places are large and commodious hotels 
making special provision for summer guests. Smaller and less pretentious 
resorts are scattered about the State, there are numerous camps along the lake 
shores, which may be leased for the season or for a few weeks, and boarding 
houses that furnish ideal summer accommodations, while many private houses 
are opened for a few visitors. 

First class train accommodations enable one to reach all the more import- 
ant points in Vermont with ease and comfort, while branch lines and a dozen 
or more lines of electric road make a large part of the State readily accessible. 
The Boston and Maine railroad follows the course of the Connecticut river on 
the eastern side, with a branch division reaching across the State; the Central 
Vermont traverses the central portion and the New England States Limited 
over its line is one of the finest trains running out of Boston. The Rutland 
road connects with Boston trains at Bellows Falls and with the Delaware and 
Hudson and New York Central at Rutland, running south to Bennington and 
through Massachusetts and north through the islands of Lake Champlain to 
Montreal. These three great systems with their branch lines, and the other 
roads that enter the State for a few miles at points not otherwise covered make 
all the more desirable resorts of Vermont easy of access. 

Fully detailed information as to the best trains and most convenient means 
of reaching any desired point will be furnished to any one who will address,

It is the purpose of this bureau to furnish all the information it can to those 
who desire it and all inquiries will be answered as fully as its information and 
resources will permit. 

The myriad attractions, the countless spots of scenic beauty and natural 
grandeur and historic interest scattered through 246 towns cannot be even 
briefly mentioned in such a publication as this, but short reference to the 
various counties will afford something of desirable information and a sugges-

Extending fifty miles or so along the shore of Lake Champlain, traversed 
by Otter Creek, the largest stream in the State, Addison county contains Ver- 
gennes, the oldest and for a long time the only city in the State, a charming 
old-fashioned town. The falls of the Otter is one of the finest water \aews of 
the State. 

At Vergennes is the State agricultural school, at Middlebury the college 
of that name, founded at the beginning of the last century and one of the early 
co-educational institutions of learning. Ferrisburgh was the home of Rowland 
Robinson, author of the famous "Uncle 'Lisha' " stories and the old farm house 
was one of the stations of the underground railroad by means of which escaping 
negro slaves were aided to reach Canada. At Wej^bridge is the government 
farm for breeding Morgan horses, a type that originated in Vermont and is 
specially desirable for road work and cavalry purposes. Chimney Point on the 
lake shore is a point of historic interest and Crown Point and the ruins of 
Fort Ticonderoga on the New York shore draw many visitors every season. 
Lake Dunmore, well-known to all readers of Thompson's Green Mountain 
Boys, is a beautiful expanse of water where lake trout of large size abound. On 
its shore is a modern, well conducted hotel with numerous cottages and smaller 
places of resort.

Whether the battle of Bennington, one of the most important engagements 
of the revolutionary period, was fought on Vermont or New York soil is still 
a matter of dispute among historians. Vermonters are so well assured of the 
correctness of their claim that they have erected at Bennington a monument in 
commemoration of the battle, a magnificent granite shaft. If future investiga- 
tion and new evidence shall establish the claim of New York to have been the 
scene of that fight, it cannot rob Vermont of the pride it has in the achievement 
of her sons who participated in the battle. 

At Peru is the only remaining toll road in the State, and the famous hotel 
with a fireplace on the veranda. 

Manchester with its broad and shaded streets, nestling under the shadow of 
Equinox Mountain, has been a well known summer resort for years and has 
produced a whole family of prominent hotel men. The Battenkill river is one 
of the best fishing grounds in the east and there is at Manchester a manufacturer 
of some of the finest fishing rods and flies produced in the country. 

Bennington is the home of Gen. J. G. McCullough, former governor of the 
State, one of the romantic figures in the early days of California, and among its 
summer visitors is Robert Lincoln. 

Well wooded, with many mountains and streams and numerous hotels 
and other places of entertainment, easy of access from the large cities, Benning- 
ton county's small towns and big villages demand favorable consideration.

This section derives its name from the fact that the larger early settle- 
ments were made by Scotchmen. It borders for several miles on the Con- 
necticut River and there is soon to be constructed at the Fifteen Mile Falls a 
water power that will produce 50,000 or more of horse power. The company 
that controls it will expend about $8,000,000 on the work. This will create 
an artificial lake covering hundreds of acres. 

St. Johnsbury, the largest town, contains the great Fairbanks scale works 
whose products go all over the world, the Athenaeum in which is a great painting 
of the grand canon, the Fairbanks museum filled with valuable curiosities 
from all parts of the world and many historic relics. 

Speedwell Farms at Lyndonville is the home of Theodore N. Vail, presi- 
dent of the American Bell Telephone Company and the Western Union Tele- 
graph Company. He has established there an industrial and agricultural 
school that is crowded to its full capacity. 

Danville, once the seat of the State government, is a delightful old town, 
while Hardwick, which is developing as a granite manufacturing center, is a 
modern and hustling community. 

Through a portion of this county runs the old Hazen road, built in 1779 
as a military route by General Hazen and now used as a State highway. 

The town of Wheelock is owned by Dartmouth college, the land having 
been granted for educational purposes, in 1785, and was named for the Rev. 
John Wheelock who was at that time president of the college. 

One of the government's trout hatcheries is located at St. Johnsbury.

Fort Ethan Allen, a United States military post for cavalry, is one of the 
most frequently visited points in this section. The name of Allen is closely 
'connected with the county for that family of early Vermont patriots owned 
arge tracts about the lake and it was through the influence of Ira Allen and his 
gifts of land that the State University was located at Burhngton. Situated 
on an eminence above the city, it is one of the most attractive places for an 
educational institution in the entire east and the summer school of languages, 
science and music is always well attended. 

Burlington, the largest city of the State, is "beautiful for situation," 
bordering on the shore of the picturesque lake, close by that natural wonder, 
the Winooski Gorge, where the rocks rise a hundred feet above the narrow 
river; close by Mallets Bay, a picturesque spot where a boys' summer 
school is located, where there is excellent fishing and splendid facilities 
for bathing; a New England village in the soft greenness of its shaded 
streets; a modern city in the variety and extent of its commerce and manu- 
factures; through its railroad and steamboat connections affording opportuni- 
ties for reaching with ease any portion of the State and containing within its 
own borders many bits of beauty. 

Two rivers run through the county, the Winooski and the Lamoille, 
affording good fishing along their course and at their mouths. On the Lamoille 
at Milton the International Paper Company has a large mill. 

Lake Iroquois in Hinesburgh is a charming and popular resort. 

At Shelburne is the splendid country estate of Dr. W. Seward Webb of 
New York, and many handsome and substantial residences are scattered 
through the valleys. 

The section is largely composed of fertile valleys watered by many streams, 
and from the higher portions wondrous views are had of the great lake and the 
mountains away to the eastward. 

It is a fertile farming country, and the most valuable apple orchard in 
New England is in the town of Charlotte. 

Its wonderful views of mountain, lake and stream, of smoothly cultivated 
land and the wildness of nature, the ease with which noted points may be 
reached, the opportunities for fishing in the streams and for yachting, bathing 
and fishing in the lake make this one of the favored portions of Vermont.

Situated in the northeast corner, the scene of great lumbering operations, 
many of its towns untraversed by a raih*oad, this county contains more of real 
wilderness than any other. Its eastern limit is bounded by the upper reaches 
of the Connecticut River, and down that stream the great lumber companies 
send every year millions of feet of lumber taken from its extensive forests. 

Three considerable rivers and numerous small streams flow through the 
county. Valuable mineral springs are found in the town of Brunswick. 

The lakes and streams abound with fish and the woods with deer, so that 
this is perhaps the most attractive section of the State for the sportsman. The 
only known herd of moose in Vermont Uves in Essex county. 

Island Pond, the principal village, is a division headquarters of the Grand 
Trunk railway and has developed some manufacturing industries aside from 
lumbering, which is the main business of the people.

Advantages of natural location, business enterprise and industrial activity 
have combined to make Franklin one of most pleasing and prosperous of the 
counties of the State. Reaching to the Canadian line, indented by Missisquoi 
bay, Maquam bay and the Great Back Bay, traversed by the Missisquoi and 
Lamoille Rivers and many smaller streams, its agricultural interests developed 
to an enviable state of excellence and its manufacturing possibilities largely 
realized, this county ranks with the most favored portions of the state in pro- 
ductiveness, progressiveness and prosperity. 

Along the lake shore are numerous resorts where the summer visitor may 
find the best of entertainment, while the lake itself, the streams flowing into 
it, and the small ponds not far away will furnish fishing in plenty of the highest 
quality. 

Lake Carmi or Silver Lake in Franklin draws many visitors every year, 

St. Albans, the principal city, is one of the most pleasing to visitors in its 
natural attractiveness and well kept appearance, its charming views, hand- 
some residences and wide, shaded streets. Here is the headquarters of the 
Central Vermont railway and important manufacturing industries. Close by^ 
easily reached by trolley car, is St. Albans Bay, with its fleet of yachts and 
motor boats. This is the town that Henry Ward Beecher characterized as 
having "a greater variety of scenic beauty than any other that I can remember 
in America." 

Richford and Enosburg are important manufacturing towns and Missis- 
quoi Park and springs in Highgate are places of popular resort.

This smallest of the counties is composed of five towns, four on three of the 
largest islands of Lake Champlain and the fifth on the northern mainland. 
The streams are small and the country generally level. Bridges connect the 
islands with each other and the main land and the firmly packed roads winding 
close by curving shores and smooth sandy beaches offer some of the most en- 
ticing drives to be found in the State. Within easy reach of the best of lake 
fishing and easily reached by the Rutland railroad, which has bridged the water 
across the county, Grand Isle presents many attractions. 

This is the finest apple growing section of Vermont. Soil, climate and 
water supply exist in just the proper proportion for the production of high 
class fruit. Modern and scientific methods are applied by the orchardists and 
more than one crop is sold on the trees for several thousand dollars. Though 
not so large as some of the apples grown in the west under irrigation, the Ver- 
mont product surpasses them in flavor, and buyers from New York visit

This is one of the smaller and inland sections, with railroad connections 
to the east and west, smooth and sandy in some sections, rocky and mountain- 
ous in others, containing some of the best farms in the State, granite, asbestos 
and talc deposits and a natural paint mine. It is the seat of some important 
industries, the best known being that of handling of green calf skins, devel- 
oped at Hyde Park by Carrol S. Page, former governor and now United States 
Senator. This is the largest industry of the kind in the world and its business 
extends all over the world. 

The building of a municipal dam at Morrisville has created an artificial 
lake several miles in extent which is widely used for boating and provides ex- 
cellent fishing. 

Stowe is one of the most charming of Vermont villages, the terminus of the 
electric road connecting with the Central Vermont at Waterbury, and is the 
point of departure for climbing Mount Mansfield. 

Boating, bathing and fishing are afforded by the numerous lakes and 
streams and good hunting may be had in its season.

Lying along the Connecticut River, in the eastern part of the State, 
Orange county contains some spots of rare beauty and points of historic 
interest. Its intervales along the river are some of the best of farming land 
and present scenes of peaceful quietude and there is little of wild and rugged 
scenery within its borders. 

Some of the earliest settlements on the eastern side of the State were 
made in this county and many traces of Indian occupancy have been found in 
Newbury. 

On the side of Wright's Mountain in Bradford is a cave called the Devil's 
Den, in which are several apartments and which is believed to have been used 
in early times as a human habitation. In this town were made the first school 
globes ever manufactured. 

Fairlee was the home of Samuel Morey, who ran a steamboat on Fairlee 
pond, now Lake Morey, a year or two before Fulton's Clermont was built. 
Chagrined at the advantage gained by Fulton, dishonestly, as he believed, he 
sunk his boat in the lake and it has never been recovered. 

Strafford was the home of Justin S. Morrill, for many years United States 
Senator. It contains a large quantity of copper ore which has been worked 
with varying degrees of success since 1793. 

Valuable mineral springs in Williamstown have been celebrated for more 
than half a century. 

Lake Morey has afforded good fishing for many years and several cottages 
and hotels have been erected on its borders, while smaller lakes offer good 
opportunities and plenty of accommodations may be found.

This is a county of lakes. Memphremagog, stretching far into Canada, 
dotted with many islands, whitened with many sails of pleasm-e boats and 
traversed daily by a handsome and commodious steamer, takes precedence. 
At Newport, on the lake shore, is the Memphremagog yacht club which is 
developing an interest in water sports. 

Willoughby lake in Westmore, guarded by Mount Pisgah and Mount Hor, 
has more of rugged grandeur. Seymour lake in Morgan and Pensioners pond 
in Charleston are large and beautiful bodies of water. Caspian lake in Greens- 
boro is one of the finest fishing grounds in the State and is surrounded by a 
large number of expensive summer cottages. Long pond in Glover draws many 
visitors every season. 

There are first class hotel accommodations at Newport and Barton and 
travelers will have little trouble in securing accommodations in the smaller 
towns. 

Newport is the home of G. H. Prouty, former governor, and the lumber 
company in which he is interested is one of the largest in New England. In 
Derby, just across the lake, lives Josiah Grout, also an ex-governor. Newport 
is the head of the customs district of Memphremagog and a handsome govern- 
ment building has been erected there.

The most populous county in the State also possesses some of the greatest 
attractions. Pico, Killington and Shrewsbury are mountain peaks that tower 
high above the surrounding country, and smaller elevations are often visited 
by lovers of beauty. 

Lake Bomoseen in Castleton covers 15,000 acres and is surrounded by 
palatial hotels and handsome cottages. Glen and Benson lakes in the same 
town are interesting resorts. Lake St. Catherine in Poultney and Wells covers 
more than 2,000 acres. Both this and Bomoseen are large enough to afford 
ample opportunity for boating as well as excellent fishing. The forests are 
abundantly stocked with game. It was in Rutland county that a small herd 
of deer was placed thirty years ago, which has increased to the large number 
that roam the forests of the State today. 

At Sudbury is Hyde Manor, one of the popular resorts of the State . 

Medicinal springs in Clarendon became famous for their cures early in the 
last century and still maintain their reputation. 

The first medical college in the State was established at Castleton and the 
old buildings now form a part of the Castleton normal school. 

At Rutland are manufactured the famous Howe scales. Governor John 
A. Mead is president of the Howe Scale Company. 

The Vermont Marble Company at Proctor, founded by Senator Redfield 
Proctor and now managed by his son, Ex-Governor Fletcher D. Proctor, is 
the largest concern of its kind in the country. 

In Rutland is also a large manufactory of maple sugar makers ' tools and 
apparatus, and in Poultney and Pawlet are extensive slate quarries producing 
some of the best slate manufactured.

Here is Montpelier, the State capital, shaded, quiet, with handsome public 
buildings and the financial center of the State; Northfield, the site of Norwich 
University, a military school second only to West Point in the estimation of 
the war department; Barre, the center of the granite manufacturing indus- 
try of the country; Waterbury, the home of one of the best managed hos- 
pitals for the insane in the country. 

The Winooski river traverses the county from east to west and this with its 
numerous branches, with the addition of the Dog river just below Montpelier 
and two rivers that join it at Waterbury, is one of the principal streams of the 
State and furnishes an abundance of water power used in producing electric 
power, while on the Mad river are two power plants. 

In Woodbury, with its thirty ponds, is one of the finest places for a summer 
outing to be found in the State, and there are numerous other ponds and many 
streams that invite and reward the angler. 

Camel's Hump is reached by an easy climb from Waterbury or Duxbury 
and^the shelter at the summit is now open for visitors. 

The Mayor of Montpelier is secretary of the Automobile Club of Vermont 
and visiting motorists will receive every attention. First class highways extend 
through the county providing many pleasant drives, and excellent hotels furnish 
accommodations for the traveler. 

This section is reached by the Boston & Maine and Central Vermont 
railroads, and every desirable place in the county may be easily reached over 
good roads.

Lying next the Massachusetts border, easily reached from the great cities, 
with many natural and artificial attractions, this is one of the most desirable 
counties in the State for the summer visitor. 

Brattleboro, the principal town, lies close beside the magnificent lake 
created by the building of a power dam a few miles below, and boating on the 
lake has developed marvelously since the lake came into being. 

It is the home of the great Estey organ factory, of the Brattleboro Re- 
treat for the treatment of the insane and there will soon be completed there the 
Austine institution for the care of the deaf, dumb, bUnd and feeble-minded. 
It is a handsome New England village, larger than some Vermont cities, with 
public spirited citizens and the home of many men of prominence. 

The families of President Taft and of Eugene Field went from Windham 
county. 

Guilford, in the earlier part of the last century,was the largest town in the 
State and for a short time was an independent republic. 

Brattleboro is notable among collectors for the fact that some of the 
earliest postage stamps were issued there, and a Brattleboro stamp today is 
worth a large sum. 

From the summit of Wantastiquet mountain there is a wide view of Ver- 
mont scenery to the north and a broad expanse of mountain and valley in 
Massachusetts to the south. 

A well organized fish and game club keeps the streams and lakes well 
filled and the coverts well stocked, so the sportsman may find plenty to attract 
and amuse him,while those who seek merely the quiet recreations of country 
life will suffer from no lack of opportunities.

If this county is noted for containing the town with the smallest population 
of any in the State, it has other and different demands on attention. 

Royalton is of historic interest, as the town raided and burned by Indians 
from Canada in 1780, and a granite monument on the common commemorates 
that fact. 

In Sharon is a monument erected by the Mormons to the memory of 
Joseph Smith, their prophet, on the site of the prophet's birthplace. 

Windsor, the site of the State prison, maintains a large and important 
machine manufacturing industry, and is the home of Maxwell Evarts, son of 
the former United States Senator from New York, while j ust across the Connec- 
ticut river, in New Hampshire,, is a notable colony of writers, artists and sculp- 
tors. 

Woodstock has become noted as a summer and winter resort. It is a hand- 
some, well kept village, with beautiful surroundings. The park is the center 
of the village and duphcates in its shape and dimensions the famous Great 
Eastern. 

The White river, draining a large part of the county, joins the Connecticut 
at White River Junction, the most important railway point in the State. 

Just across the river from Norwich is Dartmouth college and at Ludlow is 
the Black River Academy. 

Extensive woolen manufactm-es are carried on along the Ottaquechee 
river and in one of the mills at Bridgewater is manufactured some of the most 
expensive cloth turned out in the country. 

The diversified character of the scenery, the many forms of natural beauty, 
the ease with which it can be reached and the opportunities and attractions it 
offers to the sportsman and the lover of nature make this one of the most in- 
teresting sections of the State.

desirable. 

The grounds consist of about one hundred and seventy acres, including a 
large frontage on the lake, well wooded with evergreens. "The Point" near 
the house is a quiet, secluded place with abundant shade and cool breezes. A 
meadow nearly a mile in length slopes to the southward from the house and 
joins the lake at Button Bay. 

A fine herd of high grade Jersey cows supplies the table with the best of 
fresh butter, cream, milk, cheese and buttermilk. Eggs, vegetables and small 
fruits are also produced on the farm. There are many pleasant drives about 
the country. A livery in connection with the house furnishes single or double 
teams as desired.

bays and harbors on both sides afford safe boating. Boats may be rented by 
the day or week. 

The ample opportunities for out-of-door life, bathing, excellent water, 
abundant shade and fine scenery are among the natural attractions of Basin 
Harbor. 

The steamboat service is frequent and convenient to all lake points. The 
D. & H. Steamer " Ticonderoga" leaves Basin Harbor each morning, touching 
at all lake points to the north and returning in the evening. The steamer 
" Alexander' ' leaves for Westport at 9 :30 A. M. and returns 5 P. M., making con- 
connection with the D. & H. steamer "Vermont' ' for all lake points to thesouth. 

There are many places of interest for short excursions. The famous Ausa- 
ble Chasm is only thirty miles distant. Fort Ticonderoga, Fort Frederick and 
other historic places are within easy reach. 

Excellent fishing in the vicinity of Basin Harbor is one of the strongest
